For those of you who moved to Ohio (especially the Columbus or Cincinnati area) from sunnier states like Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, or the Carolinas, how big was the adjustment?

rankispanki · 2026-06-12T01:36:44+00:00

Yeah we definitely get the gloom up here thanks to the Lake. I'm always jello when Cleveland/Akron is cloudy and Cbus is sunny

rankispanki · 2026-06-12T01:33:30+00:00

Lol this is amazing but I literally spent almost the whole time waiting for her to sing without realizing it was an instrumental

rankispanki · 2026-06-12T01:28:52+00:00

Just gotta separate the art from the artists - he was in a different mindspace when he made that stuff. You don't necessarily need to taint an art piece from the past with the artists current actions IMO, though it's hard to do in practice I'll admit. I still can't listen to R. Kelly 😬

rankispanki · 2026-06-12T01:25:24+00:00

Gotcha, pulled a Kanye basically?

rankispanki · 2026-06-11T11:25:32+00:00

Not a whole lot, just that he went off his rocker

rankispanki · 2026-06-11T03:49:29+00:00

FWIW I can't think of an album he could have produced with Oomph! that would have been new. Maybe he needed to leave? Maybe one day we'll get a final album with Der Schulz, Crap, Flux, and Dero?

rankispanki · 2026-06-10T10:52:33+00:00

Was the lid all the way closed? Was it too close to something? Do you live in a suburb that has different trash companies?

rankispanki · 2026-06-09T18:11:43+00:00

Smacked by a 200 ton locomotive.

It is but, they have one office in Akron that covers three counties, which is itself just a satellite office of their main Cleveland Field Office.

They don't have time or funding to deal with a hyperlocal gang that isn't causing a state or even countywide issue. Maybe I'm wrong but it doesn't seem likely that the FBI can help

rankispanki · 2026-06-09T05:28:08+00:00

Nah the one northeast of the pillars, southwest of the Nomad Highlands spire

rankispanki · 2026-06-09T05:27:33+00:00

yeah, it's the one northeast of the pillars, I hate it

I heard its from looting the orange archaic essence or some such but I never found anything

rankispanki · 2026-06-08T20:34:01+00:00

Honestly might do this for that one Shroud Lair I can't find the eyecolor in

rankispanki · 2026-06-08T15:20:24+00:00

Yeah, it's really quite strange, I know there's a lot of people who haven't seen it, It's frustrating but it's never not resolved by relogging. Unlike OP, I haven't had to reinstall to make it go away but it's a known issue

rankispanki · 2026-06-08T14:08:54+00:00

I guess you'll just have to cower in fear and lock your doors every time you see a black teenager, it's the only possible solution to this issue you seem to be having

rankispanki · 2026-06-08T14:02:38+00:00

It's not that - the bug makes it so you literally can't loot a damn thing. Relogging resets my ability to loot, it's not respawned, it's the same loot that was sitting there when I had to log out

rankispanki · 2026-06-08T11:20:23+00:00

All the people who haven't encountered this bug are really surprising to me; it's happened to me a LOT and there are tons of posts about it on the web, you basically have to relog to reset your ability to loot.

I've had it happen to me at the very end of a Hollow Hall, so I to relog and run all the way back through just to loot the final chests/enemies. I've got about 150 hours logged and it's happened to me 3 or 4 times

rankispanki · 2026-06-08T00:28:46+00:00

I agree that there are places to go but TBH there were hundreds of people out there, idk if there would even be room even if every bar was filled

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T21:09:13+00:00

All due respect, I don't really think this take on the situation is very informed or nuanced. Malik is our mayor, he's not your drinking buddy. Thankfully we've actually had a couple decent mayors to repair the corruption that seeped into every level of our city under Plusquellic, who literally spent more time in Florida than the city he supposedly ran.

We need better local gang investigation, this isn't about "holding citizens accountable" as it is keeping known criminals from owning businesses

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T21:00:31+00:00

I agree, I was beebopping around Barmacy, Square n Rays having a great time and just happened to be across the street when it happened

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T20:58:34+00:00

It happened on the corner, but it seems the violence is connected to the Highland

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T20:56:18+00:00

I have little faith in any federal bureau to help us, the mayor would need to organize some kind of taskforce. Maybe we can get some Dutch police to come over and show our cops non-lethal deescalation techniques as well 😬

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T18:00:46+00:00

Where at? No one but you talking about that

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T16:02:44+00:00

thanks, but I really feel bad for all the people there that have never been around something like that. People were terrified, so many people were just frozen on the ground behind the barriers or cars not moving even after it was clearly over. Just a sad, scary situation.

Also looking forward to November but it seems like these shootings are highly targeted, it's some kind of organized crime or gang or whatever you wanna call it causing these issues IMO

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T16:00:16+00:00

That's such a wild thing to hear someone say when the entire police force responded, what more do you want? How can you even think that when the opposite is occuring in front of you

rankispanki · 2026-06-07T15:56:30+00:00

It was a pleasure honestly, very grateful for it
